Darkness Magic is a type of Magic which allows users to manipulate and control destructive Dark Magic. This Magic has a physical form used for destroying objects, blocking enemies' attacks and picking up objects. The color of the Magic varies depending on the caster (red, purple, black, green, etc). Users typically shape their attacks into the form of ghostly apparitions, which they can use in various ways. The malefic nature of this Magic tends to complement the sinister nature of its users, and it is known to make people physically ill and cold in nature.

Like other elemental Magic, this Magic includes body transformation. User's such as Simon control the surrounding darkness and shadow, engulfing others and the immediate vicinity into its pitch-black darkness, himself included. Light Magic is Darkness Magic's natural superior. Makarov Dreyar used his Light Magic against Jose Porla's Darkness Magic and defeated him with the utmost ease. It is unknown if there are any Magics weak to Darkness Magic, or if Darkness Magic is weak to any other Magics besides Light Magic.
